Post reporter - I am wondering and haven't seen mentioned in any of the stories about this - has Lamone been compensated by Diebold either directly (cash) or indirectly (trips, meals, gifts) either before or after selecting their product for the state - and now being their public spokesperson? I would include her immedite family in the question.

Thanks very much,

Every time I see Linda Lamone's name in print my blood boils. Back in the day, when Md. was debating whether to award the poll book contract to Diebold, Linda Lamone claimed that those who questioned the integrity of the Diebold system were, get this, UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY.

That's a heavy burden for a body to carry with them for the rest of their life. Mickey Miller backed her to the hilt. Her comments cost Martin O'Malley my vote.

Even in Maryland, where our electoral votes are in essence already cast for the Democratic choice in 2008, and where our congressional delegation is dark blue, our state is full of such anger! Chill, people. Our votes in 2008 for the Dems is a foregone conclusion, so there's not much more for us to do except open our pocketbooks for the states where votes will actually matter. Worrying about this woman's view of electronic voting is a trivial matter in the grand scheme of things.

Please retake the photos of the reporters for this page. Hard to take any of you seriously with pics like this.

At great personal expense, and inconvenience, I note that the censors at WaPo, eh, I mean Editorial Discretion at WaPo, prevents me from sharing my most intimate thoughts on Linda Lamone with a wider audience. Reference, my post 06-28-07 12.19pm Rupert Murdoch (aka the Dirty Digger), Syndrome, is alive and well, and living in WaPo.

Doncha just love the following: Lamone, a lawyer, said she contacted the commission yesterday to "seek their guidance" after reporters began calling about the brochure. She declined to say what she learned.
Memo to Linda, we, the stoopid electorate, have already figured out that the State Ethics Commission told you that, "the appearance of impropriety, even when no actual impropriety exists, is worse than whoring.

I put Lamone in the same freako category as JJ's Homeland Security Czar, Cprl Washington, and $54m pants man judge Roy Pearson. How long is it going to take for leprechaun O'Malley to figure this out and dump her ass?

Phyllis- is anyone working on the explosive story about O'Malley's shady land deal with Sutherland and Torrey Brown? It was in the Gazette, Capital, Sun, etc. Basic gist of the story is O'Malley pushed a land sale through the BPW for 271 acres in QAs County that was owned by two former transition team members of him. These two people (Sutherland and Brown) were paid $18,500 an acre for land they bought last October at $12,000 an acre. The kicker? They didn't even have to sell the waterfront portion of the property! Both Franchot and Kopp raised an eyebrow about the property, but were reassured by O'Malley's minions at the meetings and they reluctantly approved the sale (Franchot even said something aloud about it seeming pricey). This thing stinks of corruption. I can't believe the Post hasn't done an iota on it. It is quickly becoming a big story over the internet world from The Sun's forums (1300 people have read the thread on their forums in 1 day) to O'Malleywatch.com and is spreading like wildfire. John Wagner must surely know about this? Will we see something?

The stuff about Mike Miller's favorite Annapolitan, Linda Lamone, is great, but not nearly as explosive as O'Malley's latest dirty laundry.

Why don't we have a posting about the Governor's call for major tax increases? I don't remember any O'Malley TV ads 7 or 8 months ago calling for people to elect him so he could raise taxes. I know the Post editors believe any tax increae is "meager," as they said today. However, don't you want to hear the voices of Marylanders who resent an O'Malley tax increase slamming our pocketbooks every day until the 2010 elections?

lamone is corrupt. but thanks to mike miller, she could be in jail and still keep her job overseeing our elections.
now, why is the post not reporting on the other corruption in annapolis? namely, the shady land deal that o'malley got for his transition team members. these are supposedly 'doomsday' budget times, but he has the state buy land at more than $1 million more than it was appraised and the owners, and political backers of o'malley, get to keep the waterfront portion? let me guess, the post will report this for a saturday 'dump' or, like the other recent evidence of corruption, the post will wait a week and hope no one reads the paper that day. but john wagner can report on the ducks and turtles??? ridiculous and embarrassing for this paper.

Count Bobulescu,
We're trying to keep it clean here. General criticism, even "stoopid," is ok. Sexual references to camels, not ok.

Others,
We're working it.

Phyllis - your story now mentions that Lamone was not paid to be in the ad, but has she received any other form of compensation from Diebold either before or after awarding the contract? I am thinking of gifts, travel, meals, etc....

Thanks.
